Do we have an idea how many have taken delivery in the uk now?

I’m seeing lots of checkout emails but very few saying they’ve taken delivery

25 delivered to UK customers so far

Well just watched Scmeee video of his car being just about ready. Don’t know when visit was undertaken. But there seems to be an awful lot of left hand cars being built.

Going to China, as said in Harry's factory tour video.

Its great to see more and more people getting their checkout emails..sounds promising
..I just hope the delivery isn't 2-3 months after for most,as one Chap had.

Hi All, When you're telling us your checkout emails or delivery dates please may you include what your deposit date was. Would really appreciate being able to somewhat track as mine and others' deposit date approaches. Many thanks

I am delighted to read all these reports of impending check outs and deliveries. After such a wait it is reassuring to see some forum members getting their cars before Christmas or year end.

After last weeks posts of some members receiving emails delaying their orders by nearly a year, from Q2 2023 to 2024 for whatever reason when their deposit were placed. This worried me greatly.

I am a pre- reveal customer, with a latest April 2023 build and May Delivery, I have had a test drive on sport suspension and decided it was OK for me. I have now Informed LCS via email the suspension will be acceptable.

Today I rang LCS to confirm dates, they have confirmed I am still down for April/May. Good news I haven’t been pushed out later. But still feel miffed when I hear of similar orders being moved forward. Just jealous I guess. But, pre-reveal still not getting any “Priority” at all. Should I expect more - or am I bitter and twisted, and my forum name applicable!!!

Just been advised mine is ' in production' how long does it normally take to build from start to finish ?

Build time = π /sqrt(P(soon))

yes about the same time as it would take to disassemble it ... sorry, but mine has been in production for 3 weeks now and no time given for delivery yet.
You will be lucky or unlucky..... no good clinging to how long it should take to build as it simply isnt working like that..... its lotus, be grateful its working at all.. haha

Seems a bit mad really, I assumed ' in production' meant that it has started its journey down the line and so finished in a few days but clearly it is not so simple . I will just cling on to ' soon'

 

[Magicman]

Ok and now you’ve come forward again! Lotus production planning meetings must be really interesting!!

 

[Scruff111S]

Has anyone else had the "rather than concentrating and putting every effort into delivering your car, here is 3 videos we have made instead, to help you pass the time till you get your car"?

Is that the ‘Finish line in sight” one?
If so then yes.

 

[TomE]

I’ve had that email. To be fair, we’ve criticised them repeatedly for poor comms and they are at least now getting something informative out and more regularly.

I’m sure the comms folks aren’t building the cars, so it’s not like they’re being diverted from production work.

 

[Scruff111S]

If so then yes.

As I roughly translated it, yes.

 

[Pops68]

Yes, at this pace in the Lotus preceedings with my order, i might just get my car in time for the Lotus 80th celebrations.

Heck it might be in time for MY 80th celebration!...

Build time = π /sqrt(P(soon))

Once again a great formula made impossible by an unknown variable..

 

[TomE]

Tom have you had your test drive yet ? Eagerly awaiting what you think 🤔

Stage 1 is this Sat and Sun: Evora S vs Evora GT410 vs Evora GT430 vs Emira Touring.
